Ginger is considered as one of the promising antimicrobial natural agents and has long been used as a naturopathy medicine to treat various systemic illnesses. Ginger and its extract possess various bio-active molecules with various properties like anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant effects . The preparation of the extract is considered to be simple, cost effective with no side effects. In alternative medicine where food is considered as the best medicine, ginger can be used as a natural medication for various diseases including gastroenteritis. Many pathogens are involved in causing food - poisoning such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholera, Klebsiella spp, and Salmonella spp. This review thus highlights on the biocomponents of ginger and its effect against the food borne pathogens.
